Sliquid swirl - water based lube by Sliquid, LLC - review by Darling Jen

This cherry-vanilla flavored lube is water-based so it's safe to use with anything - silicone to glass to cyberskin toys as well as condom compatible. And it's even thick enough in my opinion for anal play. Though if you're into longer or deeper anal sex you may need to reapply as needed as it's not the thickest there is.

Another big plus for this lubricant is that it's edible. So why not go from penetration to oral without having to wipe off the bitter-tasting lube you're used to using? Flexibility is very important in the bedroom to keep things interesting and the last thing you need is to be limited by your lube. "Sorry, honey. I can't use my mouth because we've already applied the lube."

The only downside to water-based lubes are that they do not work well in any watery environments. They just wash off way too fast. So if you want to get it on in the shower, bath, hot tub, pool, etc., you're going to need an oil or silicone-based lubricant to really stick on the body.

Also, if you have the tendency to react to other lubricants, you might want to consider this one. It's petro-chemical, l-arginine, paraben, and glycerin free, as well as hypoallergenic.

The feel of the lubricant is rather impressive as well. Its thickness is similar to my body's own natural lubrication and blends very well. Though, like I said earlier, you may need something slightly thicker if you're into rougher or deeper anal sex. But for oral, vaginal, and soft anal play this will cover everything.

It warms up nicely to the body and never got sticky for me. And it washed off super easy afterward and never stained the bedsheets or clothes which made clean-up painless.

The smell is very pleasant and your partner will be a candy store for you to lick up. The only downside for me was the taste. It didn't taste bad, mind you. It was just 100-times as intense as the smell, which I was not prepared for. It was sickeningly sweet and left me smelling like a melted sweet-tart for the remainder of our play. Whereas the smell melted into my partner's body more naturally and toned down the taste, it did not blend as well on my mouth. Good thing he likes candy.

The bottle is the typical pop-top bottle and isn't easy to use when having to reapply when your hands are slippery. But I only had to reapply once so now I just avoid the issue by using enough the first time.

After knowing just to get what I know I'll need the first time, I haven't had to reapply. And the amount I start with is plenty to get us through our long sessions of oral and penetrative sex. And while we felt more comfortable washing it off our hands, we never felt sticky or greasy down below and didn't feel it necessary to take a shower to remove the lube. It melted well into our skin and never caused irritation. So if you're likely to fall asleep after sex, this lube won't likely bother you.

But if you are one that likes to be lube-free before taking that afterglow nap with your partner or lover, this does clean up fast with a quick rinse and won't stain fabric.
